Overview

Hello! It has been a long time since I last updated. I left my job and Belgium two months ago at the end of February to give myself some perspective and travel a bit.

I've kept myself busy ever since. I wanted to create a small update to gather all the things that have attracted my interest since I stopped my daily job. Additionally, I find useful to enumerate some of the things I have in my backlog and I hope to tackle as soon as I have time.

Unfortunately I have been quite disconnected to technical writing and messing around with software projects, but I will try to go back as soon as I can.

Things I've done

I fixed my bike at home.

I started with the A2 motorcycle permit, and passed already the first test.

I started learning lockpicking and I managed to open two locks so far!

I wrote a quick & dirty scraper in python to automate some downloads.

I started learning arabic with Mondly, but I have stopped with it for now.

I have started reading an investment book to learn the basics.

I learnt Wordpress and I created & sketched what is going to be my alternate site, mostly oriented towards travel articles and reflections: https://thedrift.io. I will try to reflect my musings and experiences over this sabbatical time there.
